1st Reading – ACTS 5:12-16

Many signs and wonders were done among the

people at the hands of the apostles. They were all
together in Solomon’s portico. None of the others
dared to join them, but the people esteemed
them. Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord,
great numbers of men and women, were added to
them.
Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and
laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by,
at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.
A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity
of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those
disturbed by unclean spirits,and they were all cured.

The Word of the Lord.

REV 1:9-11A, 1
13, 17-19
I, John, your brother, who share with you the distress, the
kingdom, and the endurance we have in Jesus, found myself
on the island called Patmos because I proclaimed God’s
word and gave testimony to Jesus. I was caught up in spirit
on the Lord’s day and heard behind me a voice as loud as a
trumpet, which said, “Write on a scroll what you see.”
Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to
me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands
and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of
man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash
around his chest.
When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though
dead. He touched me with his right hand and said, “Do not
be afraid. I am the first and the last, the one who lives. Once
I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I hold the
keys to death and the netherworld. Write down, therefore,
what you have seen, and what is happening, and what will
happen afterwards.”
The Word of the Lord.
Alleluia – JN 20:29

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
You believe in me, Thomas,
because you have seen me,
says the Lord; blessed are
those who have not seen me,
but still believe!
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – JN 20:19-31
On the evening of that first day of
the week, when the doors were
locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their
midst
and said to them, “Peace be with
you.”
When he had said this, he showed
them his hands and his side. The
disciples rejoiced when they saw
the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be
with you. As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed
on them and said to them, “Receive the
Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are
forgiven them, and whose sins you
retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the
Twelve, was not with them when Jesus
came. So the other disciples said to
him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the mark of the nails in
his hands and put my finger into the
nailmarks and put my hand into his
side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again
inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus
came, although the doors were locked, and
stood in their midst and said, “Peace be
with you.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger
here and see my hands, and bring your
hand and put it into my side, and do not be
unbelieving, but believe.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My
Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have
you come to believe because you have seen
me? Blessed are those who have not seen
and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many
other signs in the
presence of his disciples
that are not written in
this book. But these are
written that you may
come to believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of
God, and that through
this belief you may have
life in his name.
